April 8 to May 20
Hodges Campus - B Wing, Room B200
Leader: Mark SmithTheology (the study of God) can be intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. The goal of theology is knowing and loving God well. This is a lifelong endeavor, a never-ending pursuit, not for the sake of knowledge, but for an ever-deepening relationship with God Himself. Using You Are a Theologian by Jen Wilkin and J.T. English as our guide, we’ll address theological questions such as: Who is God? What is God like? What is the Bible? Who are we? What went wrong? What has God done? To whom do we belong? How does the story end?

Hodges Campus - B Wing, Room B214
Leaders: Joe and Bonnie McCarthyEvery one of us as followers of Jesus has a longing to live our lives for something bigger than us. Something that matters. What does that look like practically? It’s using our job, skill, and passion where we live, work, and play and leveraging that for the sake of God’s mission in the world. As we look at the Five Kingdom Priorities, we will see how to align our values, leveraging our life for the glory of God. This is the same study that LifeGroups will be doing.

Hodges Campus - B Wing, Room B210
Leader: Kelley Hastings and Michelle DefoeAngels were present in the garden of Eden, and throughout the story of the Bible they appear to people with messages, encouragement, and tangible help. Angels ministered to Jesus after His temptation and before His crucifixion, and they shared the good news of His resurrection. Despite their frequent appearance in God’s Word, our impression of angels is more often shaped by the misconceptions that have developed over the centuries. In this study by Melissa Spoelstra, we will learn who they are, what they do, and what they have to do with us. There’s no reason to fear or ignore what’s happening in the supernatural, unseen realm. We can live with confidence that God is in control of it all.

Hodges Campus - B Wing, Room B212
Leaders: Paul Isaiah Burden and Julius GreenProgress never comes easily! If you want to see improvement and concrete results, in anything you do, you will need to embrace discomfort. Yet it’s the discomfort that prevents men from pressing on toward the goal. The book of James serves as a call to action for those who are hesitant to push through discomfort. And for those men who like a challenge, James is the book. This book will spur you toward righteous action. In this study, Vince Miller explores vital spiritual elements we all encounter and teaches us to face them head on in a godly way. This is not a verse-by-verse study of the book of James, but how James applies to men, their faith, their actions (or lack thereof) and how to bridge that gap.

Thursdays • 9:30 to 11:30am
Led by Glenda Harris and Billie Hancock
Starts January 29Heaven. Who goes there? Where is it? What will we do there? Questions like these arise when we consider an eternal future beyond this physical life. How can we know the truth about what comes next? In this seven-session video-based study, Jennifer Rothschild explores the subject of heaven from a biblical perspective. She will separate what's true about heaven from what's based on legend, media depictions, and hopeful guesses. As you walk through the study, you'll not only gain a deeper understanding of what God has prepared for his children but also learn how to live with confidence today as you look forward to the glorious unending that awaits. Don't just wonder about heaven - embrace it with a faith that turns anticipation into excitement and peace.
This group will meet in Glenda Harris’ home in Marsh Landing. Contact Glenda (hg06@bellsouth.net) for the address.

Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief.

Wednesdays • 6:30 to 7:30pm
Starts January 21
Led by Anne Tyre and Audrey Barbour
at Southside CampusPrayer is a gift – an invitation to talk to with God. But prayer can also be a challenge. Do you have trouble thinking of words to say, fear some emotions are too intense to express to God, or reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Thankfully, in God’s Word we encounter many voices who teach us to pray. You’ll find that when you pray, your faith is strengthened, and your heart is united to Jesus. Each week we will watch a teaching video from one of the authors and have a brief discussion time. Let’s start the new year with a goal to enhance our prayer life!
